A Well-Deserved Hello to You

Yes, my dear friends, it has been several months since my last post; to quote one of my favorite song writers, John Lennon, "Life happens when you are busy making other plans." These last several months have been rough, rocky and filled with ups and downs, unexpected situations. I have been near divorce, my younger daughter is ill with hypertension, and I have had some severe (although not critical) health issues of my own.
However, in the midst of all of this life's events, I have made a definitive decision, and I want to share it with you.

I have always had a deep passion for writing. I write poetry, perhaps not as often as I should, but I do none the less. I am avid reader of all things history, and I have an abiding love for historical fiction genre. With that said, I have made the decision to write an historical fiction novel based upon the lives and love of two of my ancestors, who once ruled England. And I will give you one hint: they were "pre-Tutor" rulers : )

My aim is not to make a fortune, although that would be most welcomed, but write about this couple whom history, and the couple's adversaries have not exactly been kind to. I am in the process of research at this point, and am discovering some wonderful things about their characters and their personalities. This particular king, was ruthless in ruling and on the battle field, however, at home with his wife and family, he was a most loving individual. Well, enough said...I suppose you will have to wait to discover of whom I speak!

God willing, I will be back, and writing to you and for on a more consistent basis. But, for those of you who enjoy sewing, I found a wonderful blog I want to share with you, Made by Lex. Lex's tutorials are simple, and just plan fun...I have enjoyed making a project or two, from her site, myself.


Peace be to you,
